Detail by painful detail, <em>Crow<\/em> outlines the immediate backlash\nthat Phil Elverum, the singer\/songwriter\/multi-instrumentalist behind Mount\nEerie, experienced after the death of his wife and fellow artist, Genevi\u00e8ve\nCastr\u00e9e. The bare instrumentation combined with personal anecdotes and blunt\nhonesty creates a devastating and painful portrait of loss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Now Only<\/em>&#8211;a more\nconcise but instrumentally complex album&#8211;deals with the changes in Phil\u2019s\nperspective with the passage of time since Genevi\u00e8ve\u2019s death and the\nstrangeness of performing these songs for other people. It has the same deeply\npersonal lyrical style while being more experimental in terms of the song\nstructures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest Mount Eerie release, <em>After<\/em>, is yet another heartbreaking peak into the individual\nsuffering of Phil Elverum. This project is a recording of a live performance of\nsongs from <em>A Crow Looked at Me<\/em> and <em>Now Only<\/em>. Hearing Elverum play them\namidst the expansive reverb and cascades of applause is another level of\nintimate pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past, Mount Eerie has taken the form of a full band,\nbut for these intensely personal songs, Phil opted to perform alone on\nstage&#8211;just a voice and an acoustic guitar, which, although bare, highlights\nthe loneliness and isolation within the lyricism of these songs. His voice\nechoes widely within the huge space of the Netherlands\u2019 church, making the\nfeeling that he\u2019s shouting into the void come to the forefront. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first three quarters of the performance are dedicated to performing songs from <em>A Crow Looked at Me<\/em>. He really seems to be pushing the songs out of himself, almost struggling to get them out, creating an intense and solemn atmosphere. The audience is respectful and nearly silent during the performance; it seemed more like it was a gathering of souls than a concert, or maybe a ceremony of sorts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last few songs that he played are from <em>Now Only<\/em>, which hadn\u2019t been recorded at\nthe time of this concert. These songs are definitively rawer than their studio\nversions&#8211;they seem unedited and crammed full of lyrics in comparison. There\u2019s\na sense that he desperately needs to get this stuff out, and it\u2019s so human. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s where the true beauty in this record lies. Though\nPhil is undoubtedly singing of his own honest experiences, he touches on truths\nthat we all have felt. It makes us reconsider our place in the world. There is\nno positivity innate in these songs, but there\u2019s something positive to take\nfrom it all: We are all people, and we will all have to go through such things\nas death and suffering. The least we can do is to support each other instead of\ncreating more pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SCAD Radio gives this album a solid 8\/10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the last couple of years, Mount Eerie has released two of the most heart-rending albums of the decade&#8211;a grief-stricken collection of ballads entitled A Crow Looked at Me, and it\u2019s slightly more hopeful, yet still powerfully impactful Now Only.
